Yiddish with Dick and Jane par Ellis Weiner
Fun little novelty book for Jews who grew up with a bisl of Yiddish getting thrown into everyday conversation. Its a 15 minute read that will make you smile.
Dick and Jane's wholesome little world becomes new, modern, and complicated while teaching the average Gentile a little useful Yiddish. Fun, funny, and just sarcastic enough.
2/7/11 Loaned this to someone and, just getting back, I had to read it again. Here's an excerpt that illustrates why I love this little book so much.

Murphy-Jacobs | 4 autres critiques | Mar 30, 2013 | This book right here reminds me of home more than any other book that I own. This isn't teaching Yiddish more than it is teaching Yinglish which brings back so many happy memories. The few happy memories of childhood. Yinglish was the language of safety. I never read any of the Dick & Jane stories when I was younger, but this really brings me home.
A delicious parody of an early primer, Dick and Jane are a happy mother and father with two happy children, follow their happy adventures - and learn some Yiddish at the same time!
